Wasn't really gonna ride this morning - had a lot to do - but the sky was clear as, the road was dry (at my place anyway!), it was warm etc etc...ahhh just a little run won't make me late...
So set off. And the first omen came - in the form of a pedestrian (that's a first) who tried to run across the road in front of me without even looking - adult of the female persuasion she was an' all.....she probably changed the undies when she got home...didn't think the bike was that quiet...
Omen No 2. Got to the road out of town and bugger me it was wet...real wet. "Water truck?" I wondered (there's road works out that way)...Omen No 3 - fog. Just up the road a bit was yet another good old Hamilton fog bank...seems it had rained everywhere but my place.
And so it went on. The road was full of truck and trailer units. There were many cars without lights in the fog that remained invisible until you were right on them and on the home run I came up behind a friggin' grader with a ten mile long tail of vehicles behind him...
I shoulda stayed at home...it was still dry when I got back.
